The whole RONORA Re-treat/charge was amazingly powerful and peaceful, but very very stimulating too.People I’ve met are the most important part of the time at the RONORA-thank You,Friends on the RAW again;-))). But I’ve met MYSELF also…

The sunsets I’ve been looking at todays aren’t the same sunsets that I’ve been enjoying earlier.

Something happened at the SWEAT LODGE.

Regarding to the Kerrie Dancing Butterfly’s explanations, SWEAT LODGE is a sacred ceremony.

People are gathering around the fire wearing something or nothing and the first thing is very mystical (it feels like it prepares you for the NEW: they ( Kerrie, David, Native American-Shaman-Singing Man-I LOVE YOU!-talk to each other in some words we don’t really get;-). There is a lot of blessings around and my eyes were full of water that time.

Then they smudge us with-as I remember – SAGE and this way ones aura is being cleaned.

David Wolfe did it and then Kerrie Dancing Butterfly is telling her PRAY by touching ones heart with..frankinscene (was it ?). She gaves You sooo muchhhh power that YOU KNOW it’s going to be tough but YOU’LL WIN THIS BATTLE!!

Next is the FIRE OFFERING CEREMONY: Peruvian devotional ceremony to “Pacha Mama”, The Divine Mother Earth.

There is an offering cloth set up to give ones gifts/asks to Mother Earth : flowers, drowings, poetry, food, herbs, letters. Once everyone places their offering on the mesa, it is bundled and offered to the fire. ” The fire receives the gift and transforms it bringing the prayers of gratitude to the heavens.

Afterwards, The PURIFICATION LODGE CEREMONY starts .

From Kerrie Dancing Butterfly’s description:

” SECRED CEREMONY : This experience is a sacred Native American Ceremony and it is to be entered with great respect and reverence for this ancient tradition of cleansing and purification. Many contemporary teachings and traditions will be woven into this ceremony, so it will be a totally unique and transformative experience. This ceremony provides an opportunity for you to rebirth from the “Whom” of Mother Earth (lodge).

INTENTION : The lodge is the perfect place to set an intention to surrender what is no longer serving you-an old paradigm, a grunge, a limiting belief, fears or doubts. What will you put in its place?

ROUNDS: A typical lodge has 4 rounds – one honoring each direction. Rounds vary in duration from 10-30 minutes. If You enter a round, you are making a commitment to COMPLETE THE ROUND. There will be an optional Buffallo (uffff..;-))))round after the last sweat for those who feel called.

ENTERING & EXITING THE LODGE: When entering the sacred space, we use the Lakota greeting “AHO MITAKUYA OYAS’IN” which translates “TO ALL MY RELATIONS”. This greeting is used to aknowledge every person or elder entering or exiting the lodge as your relative. Enter the lodge ON ALL FOURS, CRAWLING in a clockwise direction. There is NO STANDING at any timein the lodge. Be mindful of the HOT ROCKS in the center of the lodge. When the flap opens and the round is over, the last in are the first out starting with the first row in a counter clockewise direction. When exiting , we say “Aho Mitakuya ouas’in” and crawl out to the right.

ATTIRE: You may enter the lodge nude or with a sarong, towel or light loose clothing. Either way you will get hot, sweaty and dirty.

CHARGING OBJECTS: If you have a sacred object, piece of jewelry or crystal that you would like “charged” by the ceremony, you may place that on the altar in front of the lodge door.

THE HEAT: It will get hot in the lodge (OH….YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!;-)))))))))))))). The experience of the heat is intended to bring you to THE EDGE. This bring you the opportunity to focus your inner dialog positively or spiritually in order to transcend the physical experience. if you would love more heat, rise up or sit up in the lodge closer to the rocks in the center. If you would love less heat, move your head and body towards the Mother Earth and back of the lodge.

SMUDGING: Each person is required to receive a sage smudging before entering the lodge in order to clear and balance the auric field of the body.

WATER: Be sure to completely hydrate yourself before the lodge. Water will be offering in the lodge between rounds. ”

So-we basically fasted on raw lemonade and juices , wheatgrass all day. I was the lucky one too , because that day I got a nice colonic for the first time in my life!! What an experience!! My body felt really really great that day, very light, calmed and clean. The wind was blowing like crazy and sun was sassy;-).

I spend my sweat without a bra and that was something new to me : I always felt that being naked can be only sexy. That taking off my clothes means: join me ;-).

So-that was the first point when I hit the edge and I overcome the feeling of being naked.

I can say I am brave and superwoman now : I did 6 rounds out if 8-and that is , my Friend, A LOT!

When Kerrie and David and all the people who’ve experienced the lodge before told me that it might be a BIG TIME for me, I was curious, but I felt like it will be more about physical battle-heat against my body; sweat the toxins out and basically that’s it.

IT is way beyond that, my Friends, I am telling You-the senses are going crazy at the lodge, it is not really about ones body, it is not really about buckets of sweat one leaves on the ground..

p.s. there will be much more videos soon-time is faster than I AM.I’m just waiting for them to be modified;-). Be patient;-)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
